🌿 Wellbeing Webinar – Finding Help: Supporting Doctors' Mental Health 🌿

Accessing care through healthcare systems can feel challenging at times, even for those working within them.
For doctors, the challenge of disclosing a mental health related concern can feel particularly difficult 💬, yet this first step is often a crucial enabler to helping us move forward and opening the potential for recovery 🌱

Canopi is a service that has over 15 years of experience in supporting Doctors by providing a confidential, free, mental health support service 🤝

Join the service’s Co-directors and one of their Doctor Advisors to explore:

• The essence of safe disclosure – what does the system need to do? 🔐
• Experiences of disclosure – the effects and consequences of sharing 🧠
• Why it is important to feel able to have risk-related conversations ⚖️

While this session is being delivered by clinicians working in a Wales-based organisation, the insights will be relevant for healthcare colleagues in both Wales and the Republic of Ireland. We will share any relevant RoI signposting if available 📌

🗓 1 July
⏰ 19:00 – 20:00
